WOW... what a crazy few weeks it's been. Life is constantly taking turns that are unexpected.
Last weekend my sibilings/spouses and I went over to my parents and did yard clean up! It was a huge task but with several of us we got the task done and I think they are grateful it is done for another year!
My Mom's health is really going downhill. We celebrated her 69th birthday on Wednesday night... I don't even know if she knew it was her birthday. She was so out of it. She was in the hospital last week for dehydration... and she is still not doing all that well. Mom kept falling asleep and couldn't read her cards so I read them to her, then asked if she wanted to open her gifts she asked me to. It was gut wrenching. I remember not more than 5 years ago when she was up and moving around and still an active participatant in all of the family gatherings. Now her body is physically there but her mind is in another place entirely!
I think I have finally convinced everyone that this MUST change if we want Mom to still be around! I hope in the next few weeks I will be able to intervene and begin working on getting her back to a coherent state.
On a happier note... Deven and I are off to camp this weekend. I think this trip will just be the two of us and Scooby which is much needed for both of us!
Humor and putting one foot in front of the other will keep me moving forward as this battle is just beginning!
